Our blackbirds fight one another.

We've got Rudolph back again just this week and he's starting to
re-establish his territory.

Donner und Blitzen! It's usually the women (typical) that do the

I will have to take a closer look next time he/she is perched on
the roof ariel singing its head off to find out and maybe take a

aggressive towards each other as they establish their nesting site and
towards other birds when feeding.
